Video listening. Who decides which clothes are fashionable? This worksheet, suitable for AS level in England and Wales (low advanced) links to a video from the Milanpresse/Vimeo collection of 1jour1question videos. It is short, clear, informative and quite fast. The sheets has true/false/not mentioned and some simple pre-listening oral questions to get the class thinking. I have placed the sheet in both the A-level and adult student sections. I recommend these videos for advanced listening.

Video listening. This is a brilliant short film (2m 43s) called Passé composé by Ted Hardy-Carnac. It's not about grammar. An elderly man in a retirement home fantasises about his past.

I really recommend this for a one-off lesson (about 45 minutes) or as part of a sequence about old age. Check you can access Vimeo. I have placed this in both the A-level and Adults students pages. I would use it at A2 level.
